Logic Games-Rule Substitution Questions

Robin Mac

Does anyone have any tips for attacking rule substitution questions on logic games without fully sketching out the implications of each new rule? That method works, but I simply don't have the time for it so I usually end up skipping those questions. It seems to me like there might be some sort of structure/trick to it (i.e. in a sequencing game, these types of substitutions are most common etc.), but I haven't been able to wrap my head around it.

What's worked for you? What hasn't worked for you?

Thanks!

I like to think of them like JY does and then just POE based on whether the answer choice allows new worlds/possibilities or restricts old ones from happening. I can also usually POE 2-3 of the answer choices by looking back at my old work done on prior questions. Check out the games from the early 60s where they started appearing, JY breaks down how to think about them there.

I've also found that the more I do of them, the more my intuition leads the way.

I looked at every substitution question possible and there are definitely definitely definitely patterns! That's helped me the most with new questions. All reincarnations.

@beezmoof Do you mind sharing your substitution question list (eg. PT-Section#-Question#)? I am also having a big trouble...

Thank you in advance!

If the above could be posted for those who may already have created a list of them, that would be greatly appreciated !

This is what I have, hope it helps (Feel free to correct the list in a reply if you find one of the questions I listed is not a rule substitution!)
